Good move - Spacey
I think that the movie, a whopping 190 minutes, seemed slow at times. Some characters were cliches, and other villains who later redeem themselves. It was very predictable throughout most of this movie, but the idea wasn't something that I had seen before.
However, there are moments of levity, deep emotion, and celebration that can speak to the deepest parts of you. I found the acting well enough to compliment these complicated and heartfelt scenes. They seem to far between over the full movie. I think if they had cut the movie down, and kept the emotional roller coaster, the movie would have been better.
There are scenes and odes to other big name movies, but they don't detract from this movie experience. The film had a definite Canadian feel to it, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was filmed in BC or Ontario.
Not a bad movie, but try not to look deeply into the story.Deep Impact Is Much Better - newdaysof
Impact is very similar to but not nearly as good as another movie made a few years ago called Deep Impact. Both films involve the looming catastrophe of a large object hitting Earth and mankind's efforts to save itself.
Some of the dialogue, characters and plot in Impact don't feel as realistic as Deep Impact. And Impact is just way too long at around three hours. It would have been a much better film if they had cut it down to an hour and a half and cut out a lot of the slow, tedious sequences.
Having said all that, there are some very good special effects and excellent visuals and some good action sequences. The basic premise of the plot is intriguing. But if you like this type of science fiction film, I would recommend watching Deep Impact which has a better plot, characters, dialogue and a better soundtrack.
